## Discrepancy

CREW REPORTED THEY HEARD A LOUD SQUEALING IN FLIGHT.  CREW DETECTED BURNING RUBBER BEFORE LANDING.  DURING POST FLIGHT INSPECTION, FOUND THE HUMP SEAL ON THE CAPTAIN’S SIDE MISSING.  ACFT REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  INSPECTED INTAKE AND SURROUNDING AREAS, NO DEFECTS NOTED.  RAN ENGINES AND PACKS, NO ODOR NOTED.    OK FOR SERVICE.   ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
